Just and ordinary day...

Was just an ordinary day today.
waking was the same as usual, ...slow, and the waiting for the feet and legs and brain to work together.
Made the coffee, toast, and sat on the puter until my eyes cleared lol.
lt was payday today, and the cupboards were almost bare.
l could have gone locally for my groceries, but for some reason, l was feeling homesick for where l had been living for the past two and a half decades.
Around three in the afternoon, l left this lovely new home, and drove to the chemist, got what l needed, and over to glenhuntly.
My timing for the traffic was perfect, until l went into the main street of carnegie.
A train had broken down, and l sat there all patient, until l couldnt sit there at the gates any longer.
l drove the long way around via the CIT building and under the via duct.
l found a disabled parking spot straight away, woopie.
A lady had been waddling up with her trolley and l asked if l could take it off her hands, and handed her one dollar.
Safeway make u put a dollar in the trolley lock...
l had been busting for a pee, and from memory, that safeway had its own loo. Well, l mistaken, and l was there, and wasnt going to look around for a loo, so l held onto it.
Did the basic shopping, came to 136 dollars.. not bad. spose.
l had only had two slices of toast all day, l wasnt all that hungry. but on the way back from glenhuntly, l thought l best pop into maccas in chaddy..and use their loo...
bliss.
l got some chips, and drove over to mums.
She went mad at me for turning up so late. - damned if u do, damned if u dont -...
so l told her it was the trains fault.
She was mad that l didnt ring her.
Mind u the traffic was full on, the train getting stuck put all my timing out, and l was stuck in peak traffic.
so l took her abuse, had a cuppa and came home to carry ten bags of groceries, up eleven steps.
As l said, and ordinary day.
but l got my homesick feeling all fixed up.
now lm back at my new home.

l Exist - Good Morning.


l thought l would sleep on today, there wasnt a reason to get up early, all l would do is go on the computer, nothing would get done, so l just slept on.
Finally my tired old back said, l cant lay here anymore, we must get up, so l did. l rolled over to the side of the bed, placed my feet on the carpet, leveled them out, and sat up as straight as l could. l opened my eyes, blinked, and looked around at the level of light in my room. l looks like afternoon. l then attempted to stand, holding onto the wall, until my body balanced on my overworked feet, l leant against the wall for more balance.
l started around the bed to the bathroom, not feeling that l needed to, because l had been up several times in the last six hours of sleep.
The afternoon sun was pouring through my high windows, and l smiled.
Next l had to turn the cpap off, organise those pieces, and then around the old huge bed, and into the kitchen.
l pressed the button for the heater, opened the lounge window a little, then into the kitchen.
l put the coffee on, and then over to the computer, turned it on, and allowed it time to heat up...
All of a sudden it started to rain on my south windows! l looked a little closer, its hail! shut the windows, and watched for a bit while the coffee was perking and the puter was heating.
Rain looks lovely running down a window.
So back into the kitchen, and made the coffee, put on some toast and back to the puter.
l rang mum, cos she has an ear problem that makes her dizzy, and she has to take several stemitel...sp.. and if she doesnt get it in time, shes in bed. she got it in time. poor mum...shes seventy eight this year, and still fiesty.
dads just waiting for his right hip to slip out he says...yesterday he felt like ninety five instead of eighty four...
Okay, back to make the second coffee, take the pills.
lve decided l will do a course of B12..l do feel better for it.
and of course the diabetic pills metformin. l dont think theyre doing anything, but the dr says keep taking them.
l mean, if l behave, lm a normal number...l dont need the pills , but l shall do as lm told.
lve been taking lovan for over a decade now, and seem to be addicted to them, they do cut my stress and panicky feelings..so l take them. l have however again almost stopped the muralax, - muscle relaxents, although l cheated last night, and took half a one.
The hail stopped shortly after it began, and the afternoon sun came out, l silently laughed to myself, and said, phtt, melbourne.
Soon l shall start on the basic chores, and shower, and be ready for whatever the evening brings me.....it doesnt bring me much at all lol of late, but its nice to be clean and fresh, even if its just for me.
